Remember Shirley Temple By Singing Along to 'On the Good Ship Lollipop'

As the nation remembers “America’s Darling” Shirley Temple, several things come to mind. Ringlets. Dimples. That smile. And “On the Good Ship Lollipop,” which, with the news of Temple’s death, becomes a bittersweet melody.

The number, like its star, became an iconic fixture of American pop culture, and over the years the song has been referenced on The Brady Bunch, Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Simpsons – as well as name-checked in A Tribe Called Quest’s song “What?” from The Low End Theory.
